Sarah Finney Interiors

A wonderful woman who is obviously fantastic and passionate about her work. Has given us so many ideas and wonderful plans to create our perfect family Home. Would recommend to anyone looking for guidance and advice!

We hired Sarah to help us design the interiors of our newly built detached house in Ely, Cambridgeshire. Starting with a completely blank canvas, our biggest challenge was knowing where to begin. We were keen to do things the right way from the outset, avoiding costly rework as we furnished our home and worked towards our long-term vision. Sarah was instrumental in helping us define that vision. She took the time to understand our end objectives and translated them into a clear “big picture,” while also helping us start small with a well-thought-out, practical roadmap for execution. Her guidance helped us navigate potential pitfalls and make confident, informed decisions at every stage. One highlight of her work was the design of a beautiful media wall unit, which has become a real focal point in our home. Beyond design, Sarah supported us with purchasing decisions and worked closely with vendors to clearly define requirements, ensuring everything came together seamlessly. Our journey is still ongoing, and we’re very much looking forward to working with Sarah on the next phase of the project. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for an interior designer who brings both vision and structure to the process.

I LOVE Sarah! She is just AMAZING and really understood our vibe. She came up with so many creative ways to utilise our spaces, and gave us both affordable and premium options, shes happy to work with what you've got and comes up with fantastic suggestions. We have an old period property we partially renovated and are moving things around, with her support and vision she has transformed our spaces into places that are both cohesive and special. We went for the more bold and moody vibe and she kept me in the right lane whenever I try and steer off in my own direction - she would review my ideas, and explain possibilities to keep my vision, but also make sure it really works and makes sense for the space. She will support me with my own style and vision but make even better suggestions which has been super helpful. I am sure even if moody and colourful isnt your vibe she could work whatever colour palette & vision you desire, as she really is so talented! thanks as always sarah xx

Sarah did a fantastic job in helping us choose fresh new colours for our walls in our home in Newmarket & helped with reconfiguration of our furniture. Highly recommend Sarah as she was easy to get along with & came up with great ideas & colours for us. Very Happy,we feel like we are living in a new house.

I can't speak highly enough of Sarah and the service she's provided me with. I'd not used an interior designer previously so didn't know what to expect but the whole process has been wonderful. Sarah is so passionate about her work and, whilst she has a seemingly unlimited supply of fantastic ideas, she made me feel central to the design of my home at all times by really getting to know me and finding out what brings me joy. She's also extremely easy to relate to, with a genuinely warm and compassionate style of communication. My house is a grade 2 listed thatched cottage, so not the simplest project to take on - what with the low / sloping ceilings, limited light (in some rooms) and irregular walls. However, Sarah clearly had lots of experience working with the challenges that come with an older property and created a beautiful blend of cottage tradition and contemporary freshness, offering me a range of solutions to suit my budget. I'm not sure I'll ever want to move from my beautiful home now that Sarah's worked her magic but - if I ever do - I'll be getting in touch with her straight away.

Sarah was very helpful with helping me design & choose a new kitchen with a new layout which gave us extra space. Also helped us choose some lovely flooring with beautiful colours for our walls too which as transformed our Bungalow in Newmarket, I highly recommend Sarah. Bea.

We worked with Sarah Finney Interiors on a new build in 2024 & 2025, she redesigned bathrooms and a large part of the living space. We used her for many other aspects of colour and décor and she made our life fairly simple! Her product sourcing saved us hours of potentially wasted time Her attention to detail is incredible and i would highly recommend Sarah Finney interiors without hesitation.

Sarah has given me great advice and support after my recent purchase of a Victorian terrace property in Cambridge. In particular she helped me visualise a new layout and how new furniture would fit and complement my existing pieces. She’s very good at listening to your ideas and suggesting really helpful adaptations and alternatives. Her enthusiasm makes her a pleasure to deal with!

I highly recommend Sarah. She began by helping us choose a colour scheme throughout our new house. She then fully designed two reception rooms, which are comfortable, striking and modern while being sympathetic to the Edwardian features, and has given us valuable suggestions for several other rooms as well. Sarah is professional, creative, and great fun to work with. She makes sure to understand our needs and provide different options, while keeping the number of decisions manageable. She has also connected us with tradespeople when needed at short notice and supervised their work. We are thrilled with Sarah’s work and we continue to consult her - the house looks fantastic and so much better than we could have imagined!

We had enormous confidence in Sarah from the get go when we asked her to redesign our study to create a more usable and functional home office. During the process we ended up with an amazing outdoor decking and seating area, great for socialising and entertaining which none of us had envisaged. The study was also pretty special, and Sarah lent her interior design flair to extending the improvements into our hallway and landing as well as other areas around the house. We’re really looking forward to Sarah helping us with our next project, she always brings bags of enthusiasm and energy to tackling any problems and can tailor expenditure to a given budget without it necessarily costing the earth. We feel lucky to have found Sarah so close to home and she is extremely well connected for all those hard to find trades. We’ve not had to wait months for quality carpentry or decorating whilst working with Sarah, which is a breath of fresh air in itself.

I am so glad I had Sarah to help me with my house extension project. She was always on hand to guide me with everything from furniture choices and placement to paint colours and even helped me dress my wall unit. She definitely saved me lots of time and helped me avoid costly mistakes. Thanks Sarah

Sarah designed and reconfigured my kitchen layout to fit in a lovely breakfast bar. I didn't think it would be possible to fit it in but She managed it and now I love it. I can't thank Her enough and I love sitting at it every morning for breakfast. Thanks Sarah!

Sarah is wonderful to work with. Her friendly, energetic, and accommodating style made our entire project a very pleasurable experience indeed. Sarah helped us from the very beginning – early drawings, alternative ideas, creative thoughts resulted in a blueprint that was the foundation for everything. This included briefing the builder and trade folks, to Grosvenor to the Council, given this was a Grade II Eaton Square project. Sarah engaged with everyone, knew everyone’s name, and kept me posted every week on progress. In parallel Sarah sourced all furniture and fittings, art on the walls, curtains and blinds, custom wardrobe designs and so much more. The management and coordination between the furniture suppliers and building contractors was managed entirely by Sarah who hid any complexity behind her glorious smile and can-do attitude. I am proud that the project was completed on time and within budget. The result exceeded our expectations where the reality was better than the final photo shoot on handover. Sarah created a home for us that we love and are extremely proud of.

Sarah has helped us to achieve everything we hoped for and more in re-designing our tricky-shaped living room. Sarah's clever space planning means we now use the whole room and with her encouragement we were far more daring with colour than we would ever have been left to our own devices. Working with Sarah is a positive experience from start to finish. She is always enthusiastic and brimming with ideas and has a real knack for understanding how a space will actually be used rather than just making it look good - although she definitely does that too. We have benefited from Sarah's great network of contacts from curtain makers to cabinet makers. She has commissioned bespoke furniture for us and also come up with really good value options for other pieces and we've really appreciated her keeping a keen eye on the bottom line. She understood from the beginning exactly what we wanted and we've ended up with the very best version of our vision. The best recommendation is that she is now helping us with a big new kitchen extension and whilst not quite yet finished, we all love it.

Sarah has helped us with our extension and ground floor interior design. She has been fantastic, give lots of ideas and suggestions we never thought! Helps us create a lovely also practical new big open place. We will continue our project with Sarah.

We recently asked Sarah to help us design and plan an extension to our sitting room. She came with refreshing and practical ideas to completely re-design the space in a way we would never have thought of. She understood our project immediately and gently steered us in a new direction to make maximum use of the space and tailor it to our family needs. Her service was far beyond what we had expected and we can't wait to move forward. We will continue to work with Sarah as we select furniture and refine the style to make an amazing space!

Sarah was fantastic - friendly, professional, encouraging and full of good ideas. I now feel confident moving forward with my project and know that I have a solid brief for builders. I definitely plan to stay in touch with Sarah for further help and advice once my renovation gets underway.

Sarah is an excellent interior designer, she is so experienced she knows exactly what colours will work in a space. She is great to work with, very understanding of budget and timeframes, and goes above and beyond what is asked of her. She has great knowledge of high street brands, so her ideas don’t cost a fortune. She managed to help us turn our ex-rental house into a beautiful home by advising on paint schedule, carpets and layout - and we love it! Just about to get her back again to help with dressing the rooms with lamps, cushions, rugs etc. Thankyou Sarah!

Sarah Finney undertook a major re-design of the ground-floor area of our terrace house. She took our partly-formed ideas and converted these into a complete vision, which has now been realised. The new arrangement, which went far beyond our original ideas, suits our current life-style perfectly. After much discussion and tweaking of the initial plans, Sarah also introduced us to builders who have been as reliable and accommodating as we could have wished, and assisted us in choosing suitable colours, fittings etc. Throughout the building phases, Sarah remained in constant touch, to ensure that everything was being done as per the original design and to the highest specification. At the conclusion of the work, we were struck by how closely the original designs had been brought to life, and we are very happy with “our new home”. This is testament to the depth of knowledge and willingness to elicit her clients’ needs that Sarah brings to all her projects. In conclusion, we are delighted with our newly re-styled home!

Sarah has been absolute joy to work with from start to finish and the results really speak for themselves, I couldn’t be happier. Sarah brought a wealth of experience, an eye for colour, fantastic ideas and a practicality to decisions on matters I hadn’t even thought about. From the outset Sarah was incredibly organised and I loved her ability to bring ideas to life with sketches, to challenge my thinking whether on colours, layouts, furniture and even doors which contributed to a sensitively contemporary feel to my Victorian house, combining a beautifully integrated palette, with comfortable furniture, lighting, etc., I could never have done myself and I am delighted with. Sarah certainly proves the value of getting a professional on the job!

Sarah has helped with a number of home-improvement projects over the past few years, as well as putting me in touch with a team who undertook a major loft-conversion. Most recently, Sarah helped me with the complete renovation and refurbishment of my rather dark and gloomy dining-room. This included initial planning for joinery work, replacement of the old curtains with blinds and colour selection for re-painting the room. I now have a much more welcoming and cheerful dining room. The only problem now is that I will have to improve my culinary skills to make more use of the room!

Sarah did an amazing job on our living room extension, helping us with colours and layout to create a beautiful, light living space. She was always full of ideas and listened carefully to ours, so that we felt guided and supported in making decisions. We would thoroughly recommend Sarah to anyone wanting to make their home as beautiful and comfortable as possible.

Sarah has done a wonderful job helping us to turn our dated Victorian house into a beautifully decorated family home. She also advised us on the design of our newly extended kitchen and we are thrilled with the end result! Sarah was inspiring and a joy to work with and we highly recommend her. Katherine and Lars

Sarah gave us invaluable direction, advice and ideas on the refurbishment of our house to make better use of living space and add that ‘wow’ factor we were missing. She has transformed our house into a much brighter and modern environment injecting elements of colour with accessories and enhancing my own preference of neutral backdrops with use of warmer tones to complement. Sarah suggested completely switching the kitchen/diner round and raising the ceiling, also installing skylights and a large picture window in front of which we now have our table so meals can be had overlooking the garden and a total transformation with the additional daylight coming in. To add to this she suggested removing the wall between kitchen and living room and install floor to ceiling folding glass doors separating the two that can be pushed back with ease for a completely open plan feel. Sarah recommended paint colours, the layout of the kitchen, flooring and accessories of colours that linked the rooms together. She was always on hand for as much or little input that we wanted. Even with accessories and lighting Sarah presented ideas and recommendations that I would not have explored left to my own devices. I am so glad that we have put many of these into place. Our front room also had an uplift with the layout of furniture, injection of colour and modern lighting. Upstairs Sarah recommended taking a bit from two bedrooms to form an en-suite to the main bedroom with the ingenious addition of a light tunnel which makes it bright and airy. Wardrobes were custom built and low level bedroom furnishings sourced resulting in a very luxe result. Sarah always presented options across a range of costings so that we could consider perhaps paying a little more on one part of the project if we wished and a little less on another. I loved Sarah’s flexible approach in that she would have led as much or little as we wanted and with her enthusiastic and bubbly nature it was always great to get together and review progress, next steps etc.

Sarah has been amazing in our house re-design and I would highly recommend her. We worked with Sarah on everything form overhauling our kitchen, to a complete colour change throughout the house, to interior styling and even a summer house re-design. Sarah had great and creative ideas - and would take time to sketch out layout ideas to really bring the ideas to life. Sarah really pushed our boundaries in terms of the colours we were thinking and also ensured that all of the colours flowed throughout the house - which was important to us. Sarah's colour choices were great and we are so happy with them. Sarah was also crucial in sourcing excellent local contractors and ensured the timings across all of the various projects across the house ran smoothly - so that everything came together. In addition, Sarah really opened our eyes on furnishings and finishing touches, which really pulled everything together!

Sarah is lovely to work with and has a great eye for colour and design. She has helped me style and rework my last two houses (in 2014 and 2019) and this helped me sell the first one really quickly. It's like having a friend at your side who understands what works for you! She can also recommend other professionals and suppliers to suit your individual budget. I can't recommend Sarah highly enough.

It’s been a dream to work with Sarah Finney. She has a creative gift that enables her to walk into a room and innately know the best colourways for it, by determining the light and also how to design and style a room to match your needs and personality. Sarah not only helped us determine every colour in every room in our house, but also re-designed the bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen and lounge - through from the build, to completion. She is the most approachable, warm and fun person to work with (with us and the builder/trades) and I'm thankful that we were recommended her. She thought about the things we didn't - and took the stress out of the re-furb. I realised at the end of the refurb 'that you don't know, what you don't know' - and that's why you need someone who is proactive and considers everything, holding your hand along the way. That's Sarah. She is very organised, with an attention to detail that literally saved us hundreds of pounds in various aspects of the build.

I asked Sarah for help when we moved to our new family home last summer. We have several things we want to improve on the property with a limited budget. Sarah has been a wonderful designer. She is extremely experienced and practical. She helped us prioritised the projects, designed a new kitchen and selected new hardwood floor, colour scheme as well as furniture ideas quickly and within our budget. Sarah has an keen eye for colour and detail and will make suggestions to suit one's personality and style. She is also very flexible and accommodating about scheduling meetings and allocating time spent on each task. I highly recommend her.

Sarah worked her interior design magic on my holiday apartment in Collioure France. She has enormous creative flair. Her clever use of colour, textiles, mirrors, and accessories transformed the property making it look worthy of a spread in an interiors magazine. She is a joy to work with as she really understands what a client is hoping to achieve, is calm, highly enthusiastic, has great contacts, and she delivers all this within budget and on time. It is also clear that Sarah has a wealth of experience acquired over many years. I would highly recommend for projects big or small.

I have had 3 sessions with Sarah during which she has given me great advice on styling the Dining Room and Sitting Room of my new house. Sarah works with you to develop ideas, takes your preferences into account and gives really helpful hints on suppliers. Sarah is reliable, punctual and accessible and I thoroughly enjoyed working with her. In the nicest way, Sarah coaches you to think outside the box and I have been thrilled with the results. I will definitely be consulting Sarah on my next project.

Sarah is a wonderful person to work with. She is warm, fun and has SO many ideas. Sarah was instrumental in helping us make our master loft bedroom and ensuite really outstanding. We have also had Sarah advise us on the rest of the house as we have been so impressed. We are so grateful to her for her time, patience and advice throughout the process. (She practically became one of the family!! She was so kind and the kids loved her.) We are thrilled with the result!!!! We couldn't have done it without you. Thank you Sarah! (And we can't wait to work with you on the next project!!!)

I first hired Sarah Finney to design the living/dining room in my 2 bed apartment. This involved choosing a new corner sofa and a dining table and chairs. I would not have chosen the colour Sarah picked for the sofa but I and my family all love it. She also chose a TV stand and sideboard. The layout is particularly good because previously it was hard to see and talk to others now at least 6 people can all see each other and the tv when seated. It was particularly helpful that Sarah knew and took me to different stores and on-line to help choose the furniture. More recently she has organised repainting the flat and replacing the wood flooring throughout. She has help select and display all my paintings and pictures and changed several light fittings. I may change my kitchen and would ask Sarah to design it.

Sarah has a positive, ‘can do’ attitude at all times. Nothing was too much trouble, she really listened to what I was looking to achieve and offered numerous suggestions to encourage me to try different options. She has a wonderful eye for colour and detail and is extremely knowledgeable about sourcing items. She was very patient with my queries and my occasional change of mind! I plan to use her for my next project.

Sarah has helped us with a number of projects in both our old house and new. She has been fantastic. She is able to work to a budget, has re-designed a number of different rooms for us - bathrooms, lounges, kitchens, bedrooms (both kids and adults). Her colour choices are fantastic, and bold and she knows where to spend the money and where bargains can be achieved. She has been very useful at negotiating with suppliers on our behalf, and has been very flexible at working round our busy family schedules. I would not hesitate to recommend her for any type of project - both large and small.

Sarah is just what I needed to spice up our home: she is creative yet practical (am not a fan of ostentatious stuff that doesn’t work with young kids..) and she suggests little changes that have made an enormous difference. One of the best things about her is that she can work within any budget, which I really appreciate. Oh, and she’s one of the happiest people I know!
